Swedish HVB home closures lacked criminal basis, Ivo lawyer says ashamed

Swedish supervisory authority Ivo closed hundreds of HVB homes for young people under a stated campaign to purge criminal actors, but a DN investigation reveals most closures were for unrelated reasons. An Ivo lawyer expresses shame, indicating internal acknowledgment of misrepresentation. This matters as it undermines trust in the regulator and raises legal and reputational risks for the agency.
